It's been a year of firsts for the Bastrop Lady Rams' soccer side, which won its first game, won its first district game, scored multiple goals in a game for the first time and played its first home game during the recently-completed season.

The Lady Rams achieved another first earlier this week when Aneatria Watson and Makyla Crossley were named to the LHSAA's Division II Academic All-State girls soccer team.

Watson has a 3.96 grade point average, while Crossley carries a 3.75 gpa.

Also making the team from District II were Kaitlyn Minchew, Kaylie Owens, Hannah Waller, Brianna Castaldi and Kristyn Wakefield of West Ouachita. Minchew, Owens and Waller all have perfect 4.0 gpas. Castaldia has maintained a 3.76, while Wakefield stands at 3.65.
